Butter Masala, a rich and mildly-spiced sauce, brings me back to eating at dhabas in North India while on family road trips. I combine pure cashew butter and luscious coconut cream with slow-cooked tomatoes, garlic, ginger and sweet paprika to create a lighter, vegan version of the recipe thats as satisfying as the original. Also note, my simmer sauces are all mild so you can make them for your household and each individual can modify the heat with one of our achaars. Thats how we do it at home. Feed our toddler the sauce with veggies and a protein, grain and yogurt and then we layer on our achaars for kick.
